"no child left behind" has to be changed to look at individual students and individual student growth from year to year. that would you can see that mrs. smith in one the great edit something to somebody's knowledge by the time they got to the next year. the lot is too crude -- the lot is too crude -- the law is too crude when it comes to accountability. has to child left behind" be rethought. the president has put forth a good proposal to begin that conversation. there are political reasons and some other policy reasons. host: 10 minutes late -- left. good morning. caller: it has been an interesting program. a lot of the emphasis has been on the standards and a

it means domestic spending, but iso, the really hard leift entitlements spending. the truth of the matter is that the freight train of debt that is headed straight in your generation is coming in the form of medicare, medicaid come and social security. and the higher taxes and the lower standard of living that your generation will face if we do not make decisions today to fundamentally transform those programs in a way that ensures fiscal solvency and leaves room for american economic growth is very significant. so everything is on the table. those subsidies are all of the table, and we are going to look for savings in domestic, but we're also going to look -- and i think you are going to see republicans stepped forward with some visionary and responsible reform of entitlements going forward. caller: the "washington journal" coming to you from the washington center a couple blocks from the u.s. capitol. we have students representing more than 20 colleges and universities here in attendance. our next call is anthony in long island. caller: is it ok if i comment on t
